Relationship intelligence CRM for deal-driven teams in private equity, venture capital, investment banking, consulting, and commercial real estate.
4Degrees centers its design on relationship-driven work rather than the linear sales funnels of general-purpose systems, which matches how investment teams source and manage deals. The platform arrives configured for deal sourcing, diligence, fundraising, and portfolio monitoring without added modules or custom development.
Automatic capture of email and calendar interactions alongside contact enrichment trims manual upkeep for lean teams. Onboarding support with industry playbooks and templates helps firms reach productive use within days of adoption.
4Degrees was founded in Chicago in 2017 by Ablorde Ashigbi and David Vandegrift, with Ashigbi bringing prior venture investing experience to the chief executive role. The company set out to serve relationship-driven businesses whose networks live across inboxes, calendars, and spreadsheets.
Early investor Harlem Capital first met Ashigbi in 2018 and later joined the seed round, becoming both a backer and a customer of the platform. The firm pointed to the product design and customer reception as reasons for its support.
4Degrees charges for its CRM on a per-user, per-month basis, with the exact figure set according to the size and needs of each organization. Prospective customers submit a contact form so the company can quote accurate pricing for their team.
The model keeps full platform access behind the subscription rather than splitting features across published tiers. Published customer remarks note the product costs less than several competing deal-flow tools.
4Degrees CRM is a customer relationship platform built for private-markets teams such as venture capital, private equity, and investment banking professionals. It combines relationship intelligence with customizable deal pipelines so firms can track investments, limited partners, and portfolio companies in one place.
The product keeps records current with more than twenty enrichment sources including PitchBook, and it syncs email and calendar activity automatically. Reporting views, an AI assistant, and integrations with tools such as Slack and Salesforce help deal teams prepare for meetings and follow up on opportunities.
